For Horizontal Parabolas at 18:57, should the standard form say x = a(y-k)^2 +h instead of
y = a(x-k)^2 +h with the x and y in opposite positions?

Merc, I think you are correct. I dig it that Educator is being advertised on my blog page. Educator said, learn like you are going to live forever, it seems somebody there knows who I am.

I don't know why but.. I'm having trouble watching this entire conic section due to technical issues. I don't have any problem for the other ones. It's just this section that I get "network failure". I really need to watch this... Can you please check if there's nothing wrong with the server? Thank you.

Parabolas

  • Understand the geometric significance of the sign of the coefficient of the squared term in the equation of a parabola.
  • Use the axis of symmetry to help you graph a parabola.
  • Know the standard formula for a parabola.
  • Review how to complete the square.
  • If the coefficient of the squared term is not 1, then before completing the square, you must first factor this coefficient out of both the squared term and the linear term.
